Hi,
I am sure this is a common question but I cannot find the answr on the net anywhere.
Is it possible to hide or encrypt variable data passed in the url. I have several veriable's whose data I want to hide or mask from the user.
Thnaks in advance,
Rob.

Would it not be possible to use _POST?

POST is just as viewable to the end user. Just takes 2 more sec of digging

Sessions, or better yet databased session data tied to a unique ID. Then none of the information is passed by forms or URI.

You'll need to give us a case example before we can really recommend anything.
